A new ground sign is proposed to complement the investment in the building. As this parcel is located within the Midtown Design Overlay October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: B (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-2110-A 2 District, the specific regulations for signage apply. Ground signs on sites of less than one acre are limited to no more than 24 square feet in area. As variances to the Midtown Design Overlay District are not permitted, the avenue for consideration of a larger sign is to rezone the property to a Planned Zoning District. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: The applicant seeks a zoning change to accommodate a larger sign to replace an existing monument sign. The zoning ordinance maximum square footage is 24 feet per street frontage. This property sits at the corner of North Palm Street and West Markham Street. Instead of having a sign on each street frontage, the applicant would like to combine the square footage into one sign along the Markham Street frontage. The sign would be no more than 6 feet in height and 48 square feet in area. This new sign would be set 3 feet further from Markham Street than the existing sign and moved east approximately 10 feet as to not impede visibility for vehic les entering Markham Street from Palm Street. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The property is developed with the dental office building and associated parking. Opposite the dental office across West Markham Street is the UAMS campus. Further west is War Memorial Park. Residential uses are found to the north and east. C. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS: As of this writing, staff has received one letter from nearby property owners. They are concerned about parking on North Palm Street, primarily from staff and visitors to UAMS and the Arkansas Department of Health. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site, as well as the Hillcrest Residents Association and Save Hillcrest Neighborhood Association. D.

TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING: Rock Region Metro: No comment. Planning Division: This request is located in Heights/Hillcrest Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Office (O) for this property. This category represents services provided directly to consumers (e.g., legal, financial, m edical) as well as general offices which support more basic economic activities. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from O-3 (General Office District) to POD (Planned Office Development District) to allow for a larger sign than allowed by the Midtown Design Overlay District. The request is within the Midtown Design Overlay District. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: B (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-2110-A 4 Master Street Plan: To the south of the property is West Markham and it is a Minor Arterial. East of the property is Palm Street and it is a Local Street on the Master Street Plan. A Minor Arterial provides connections to and through an urban area and their primary function is to provide short distance travel within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on West Markham since it is a Minor Arterial. The primary function of Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as “Commercial Streets”. A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity. H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 7, 2019) The applicant was not present. Staff presented the item to the committee and indicated comments would be forwarded to the applicant with the requirement for responses to be received by August 14, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission. I. ANALYSIS: Approval of this request would allow for the installation of a monument sign to go along with updates to the structure. It is not inappropriate for the area. Many of the commercial developments to the east have pylon signs and the monument sign type is better suited for this location. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the property to POD subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 29, 2019) The applicant was not present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff informed the commission that the notification was not comp leted properly; therefore, the request should be deferred to the October 10, 2019 meeting. There was no further discussion. The item was placed on the consent agenda and deferred to the October 10, 2019 agenda. The vote was 8 ayes, 0 noes, 2 absent, and 1 open position. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: B (Cont.)

FILE NO.: Z-9445 5 F. BUILDING CODES/LANDSCAPE: Building Code: No comment. Landscape: No comment. G. TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING: Rock Region Metro: No comment. Planning Division: This request is located in Ellis Mountain Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for this property. This category provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling un its per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by conventional single family homes, but may also include patio or garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre. The applicant has applied for rezoning from R-2 (Single Family District) to PRD (Planned Residential Development District) to allow the development of three duplexes on three lots. Master Street Plan: To the west of the request is Nix Road and to the north is Coleman Avenue (right-of-way); both are as Locals Streets on the Master Street Plan. The primary function of Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non -residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as “Commercial Streets”. A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity. H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 7, 2019) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item to the committee. Planning staff stated the structure on Lot 2 appeared to not have side setbacks and the cover letter indicated a minimum side setback of six feet. Public Works commented on required dedications for the rights-of-way of Nix Road and Palez Avenue. Comments from other reviewers were noted. Responses would need to be received by August 14, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: C (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9445 6 I. ANALYSIS: In response to the review comments, a revised plan was submitted and the parcel would be divided into six lots with the structures remaining as duplex units with separation between each structure being five feet. The northern and southern duplex buildings will have an exterior side yard of 6.5 feet and an interior side yard of five feet. The middle duplex has side yards of 0 feet. A request has been made to not dedicate the additional right-of-way for Palez Avenue as it is unlikely to be opened for traffic; however, the applicant is willing to dedicate the 20-foot radial dedication for Palez Avenue. Back-out areas have been shown for the three southern lots because of the concerns about site distance and backing out onto Nix Road. Public Works is supportive of the changes. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to PRD subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 29, 2019) The applicant was present. There were three registered objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the “staff recommendation” above. The applicant deferred to allow those opposed to speak first and to respond to questions and concerns. Mitzi Titus received a letter about the request, but was unclear about the location, due to the letter on the address and the description of the property. After confirming the notification was incorrect, the applicant conse nted to correct the notification and defer the matter to the October 10, 2019 agenda. A motion was made to defer the item to the October 10, 2019. The vote was 7 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent, and 1 open position. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: C (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9445 7 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 10, 2019) The applicant was present. There was one registered objector present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the “staff recommendation” above. The applicant, Rodney Chandler, addressed the planning commission and stated the item had been deferred to this meeting due to an error in notification to the adjacent property owners. A correct notification had been sent with a description of the proposed development and an invitation to a view a model home he had constru cted and to have a meeting; however, none of the property owners took the opportunity to see the model home or have a meeting. Mr. Chandler then reserved the remainder of his time. Dale Smith spoke to the commission in opposition to the request. The are a has been single-family homes for years. He is the owner of the property to the south. His property is vacant after the demolition of the residential structure recently, but he does seek to eventually rebuild a home on the land. He believes the owners of the property further south along Nix Road coming up from Kanis Road intend to develop those properties with commercial uses and he is concerned about being sandwiched between duplexes and commercial. Mr. Chandler responded he is intending to build value with the proposed development. This type of home would appeal to empty nesters and young professionals. There was no additional discussion. Chairman Latture asked for a motion from the commission. A motion to approve the item as recommended by staff, including all staff comments and conditions was made by Vice-Chairman Stebbins and seconded by Commissioner Bynum. The vote was 8 ayes,1 no, and 2 absent.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: September 18, 2019 The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted the proposed front setback should be shown on the plat. The zoning and ownership of abutting properties should also be shown on the plat. The vicinity map sho uld also be corrected to accurately reflect the property location. Public Works stated the City of Little Rock Master Street Plan classifies Crystal Valley Lateral as a principal arterial and a dedication of 55 feet from the existing road centerline is re quired with the plat. The plat should also show the extent of the septic leach lines. These lines may not be located within the area to be dedicated as right -of-way. Also, it was requested the proposed driveway locations to be shown on the plat. Comments from other departments and reviewing agencies were noted and the applicant was advised to submit responses by September 25, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission for consideration. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1858 6 I. ANALYSIS: The proposed preliminary plat would create a new lot for the construction of a residence. As sanitary sewer does not serve this area at this time, a septic system would be installed before the home is occupied. An area of approximately 2.21 acres has been set aside as an easement on Tract 2 of the subdivision. The proposed easement must be amended removing all of the land to be dedicated as right-of-way. In addition, the property to the north contains a home with a drinking- water well. This was brought to the attention of staff during the review process. The sewer easement should reflect the Arkansas Department of Health requirements for locating sewer septic systems in the vicinity of drinking water wells. Lastly, a portion of Tract 2 lies within the 100 -year floodplain. A minimum finished floor elevation of at least one-foot above the base flood elevation should be shown on the plat for Tract 2. Staff would also note the surveyor has indicated two deed discrepancies on the plat involving two tracts located to the north of the subject property. It is proper to include this on the plat; however, it would be a legal matter for a judge to resolve and not under the purview of the subdivision ordinance or planning commission. Staff is supportive of the request to waive the requirement for any improvements to Crystal Valley Lateral, as the cost would be a significant burden for the property owner and would serve little purpose at this time. All other technical comments appear to have been addressed. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat and variances subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. Staff also recommends waiving the requirement for any improvements to Crystal Valley Lateral. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 10, 2019) The applicant was present. There was one registered objector present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval as outli ned in the “staff recommendation” above. Cynthia Smith addressed the commission. Her property is included on this plat. She has been paying taxes on the property for more than 30 years. She is concerned the septic system for the new home will interfere with or compromise her water well. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1858 7 The applicant, Erica Richardson, stated the septic system will be sited to not have an impact upon the neighbor’s well. Her home will increase property values in the vicinity and will not be a detriment. A question was asked of staff regarding the area of overlap shown on the plat. Staff indicated the matter was for a judge to resolve and is not something addressed in the subdivision ordinance or for the planning commission to determine. The new home would not be constructed in any portion of the property in the area where the property deeds overlap. There was no further discussion. Chairman Latture asked the commission for a motion. Vice-chairman Stebbins made a motion to approve the preliminary plat. Commissioner Hamilton seconded. The vote was 9 ayes, 0 noes, and 2 absent.

PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: The developer has this property under contract and would like to construct two homes. One lot would have a pipe stem for access to Hood Road. As the property lies within Pulaski County and they have typically not required boundary street improvements, the developer requests a waiver to providing any improvements to Hood Road. Widening the road at this location and installing curb, gutter, and sidewalk would look out of place for such a short distance. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is undeveloped and largely cleared of trees. The property has approximately 275 feet of frontage on Hood Road and contains approximately 5.22 acres of land. This area is sparsely developed and is at the extreme northwest of the city’s planning area and extraterritorial jurisdiction. C.

NEW STREET: 0 LF WARD: 7 PLANNING DISTRICT: 12 CENSUS TRACT: 24.05 CURRENT ZONING: I-1, Industrial Park VARIANCE/WAIVERS: 1. Surface behind fence to be gravel not paving. 2. Dumpster screen to be waived because enclosed by 8-foot opaque fence. 3. 100-foot setback from residentially zoned property to be reduced to 40-feet. 4. Reduced screening requirements between parking adjacent to residentially-zoned area. BACKGROUND: Located at 2 Remington Drive within an I-1, Industrial Park zone, this undeveloped site contains approximately 1.156 acres of land. The proposed development is an October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9455 2 office/warehouse building of just over 8,000 square feet. The use at the site would be a construction company with outdoor storage. All development within the I-1 zone must be carried out under a site plan approved by the planning commission. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: The applicant is proposing to an office and warehouse building for a construction company. There are also four variances requested. The owner is seeking to waive the hard surface paving requirement for the laydown yard to allow gravel surfacing. The existing drop inlet designed to drain the lot into the current detention pond for the subdivision is located too high and cannot be used to drain the site for the owner to maximize the use of the lot. This would also assist in minimizing run off compared to asphalt, requiring a new detention pond on this site. Second, the owner is requesting the screening requirements for the dumpster to be waived because the developer is proposing to install an 8-foot opaque fence around the entire laydown yard which would also contain the dumpster. This would also allow for flexibility in the future to rearrange material or storage locations for the tenant. Third, the owner is requesting a variance to the rear setback of 100-feet from property zoned residential. The owner of the abutting property to the north currently zoned residential is supportive of the request. This would allow for the optimization of the lot. Fourth, the owner is requesting a variance for the screening for vehicle use from adjacent areas zoned residential. This would allow the fence to be pushed north to five feet from the property line. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The subject parcel is undeveloped. The property is situated on the northwestern edge of an industrial subdivision accessed from Talley Road by a cul-de-sac. Located to the west across Talley Road are two office buildings. The land to the north and west is undeveloped. Opposite this site to the south is a pediatric therapy and education use. Earlier this year, an expansion of this use was approved for a second building of 10,000 square feet and additional parking. Development in the area is predominantly commercial and industrial with some large lot residential uses to the southwest. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9455 3 C.

TRANSPORTATION/PLANNING: Rock Region Metro: No comment. Planning Division: No comment. H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: September 18, 2019 The applicant was present. Staff presented the item. The Planning Department stated the proposed opaque fence must be either wood or masonry. Also, the dumpster should not be located within the access easement and must be screened with an opaque gate. Information was requested about the typical vehicles coming to the property and for proposed signage. The Public Works discussed the stormwater quality issue regarding the proposed use of gravel on the site. A second specific comment was to show the sha red access easement with the neighboring parcel and recorded for the proposed driveway prior to the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy. Landscaping comments emphasized the land use buffer to the north is required to be no less than 70% undistur bed. Responses to comments and issues with revisions were required no later than September 25, 2019. I. ANALYSIS: In response to comments, the applicant revised the site plan to indicate the proposed laydown yard would be enclosed with an 8-foot wood fence. A list of typical equipment/vehicles on-site was also provided. The list of heavy equipment to include: A dozer, track loader, excavator, telehandler, gooseneck and utility trailers, and one-ton pickup trucks. The gravel pavement area was amended to include a 6-foot perimeter composed of an Invisible Structure Gravel Pave 2 system to limit run off from the area. The combination of the Gravel and the Gravel Pave 2 system will assist in gaining points toward LEED accreditation. Public Works has reviewed this modification and has indicated the proposed gravel lot and Gravel Pave 2 system would provide required storm water filtering. All other Public Works comments have been addressed satisfactorily. The adopted Land Use Plan for the property to the north indicates Light Industrial uses. Staff is supportive of the variance to allow a 40 -foot setback, as the future use is likely to be non-residential. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9455 9 The requested variance regarding the screening buffer is also supported by staff. Additional clarification was provided stating the intention of the developer is to leave the buffer undisturbed, but to remove old, overgrown and damaged vegetation and replant as directed by the city in compliance with the screening and landscape ordinances. Staff understands the intention to have flexibility with the dumpster location and the screening provided by the 8-foot wood fence; however, the requirement is for all sides to be screened from view. Staff would support the variance provided the access gate to the laydown yard is also opaque. It appears all technical issues have been addressed. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F of the agenda staff report. Staff also recommends approval of the variance to reduce the rear setback from 100-feet to 40 feet. Staff recommends the dumpster screening requirement be waived, provided an acceptable opaque material is used for the access gate to the laydown yard. Staff recommends approval of the variance for the use of gravel in lieu of asphalt in the laydown yard with the 6-foot perimeter of Gravel 2 pave system as shown on the revised plan. Staff recommends approval of the variance allow the vehicle area screening as shown on the revised plan. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 10, 2019) The applicant was present.

These banners were intended to differentiate between the various vehicle brands and to designate the areas for the sale of new and used vehicles. The most recent amendment to the PCD was in 2013 and involved the modification of the primary building to accommodate a different auto dealership, the addition of a car wash for use exclusively by the dealership to wash new cars and customer cars after service or maintenance. An 8-foot screening fence was also placed on the southern perimeter of the property to enhance the site and limit access during non -business hours. Lastly, the signage approved with the revision included an 8-foot high monument sign with an area of 100 square feet to be placed on Chenal Parkway, a pylon sign with a height of 36 feet and maximum area of 160 square feet, and unique wall signage featuring two model cars mounted on the wall. The previous dealership closed at the end of 2018 and the owners are seeking to re -tool the site for operation under another auto brand. Four additions to the main structure are proposed. Two additions would be located on the front façade and are 288 square f eet and 304 feet each. A third addition would expand the building on the east-facing façade. This is the largest expansion at 1,716 square feet. The fourth building addition would be a canopy added to the rear covering a new paved area for courtesy cars. The front façade would also be redesigned with the removal of a covered porch and canopy. New monument signs are also proposed. The larger sign would be placed adjacent to the access drive to West Markham Street. This sign would be 20 feet in height and 127 square feet in area. A smaller sign is proposed for the frontage along Chenal Parkway. The proposed height of this sign is 15 feet and the proposed square footage is 72 square feet. No information was provided for any wall signage. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: The proposed use of the site if for an automobile dealership and related activities. Intended hour of operation are Monday through Saturday from 7am to 9pm and occasionally on Sundays. No additional exterior pole lighting is included in this request.

Planning Division: Planning Division: This request is located in Ellis Mountain Planning District. The Land Use Plan shows Commercial (C) for this property. This category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve. The applicant has applied for a revision to the PCD (Planned Commercial Development District) to allow for signage changes and some building expansions . The request is within the Chenal/Financial Center Design Overlay District. Master Street Plan: To the east of the property is Chenal Parkway and it is a Principal Arterial. North of the property is Markham and it is a Collector on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Chenal Parkway since it is a Principal Arterial. The primary function of a Collector Road is to provide a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity. H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: September 18, 2019 The applicant was present. Staff presented the item to the committee. Planning staff asked for confirmation the proposed monument signs are not within October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5803-C 6 easements and/or to provide documentation of agreements to locate the signs within easements. Also, information on any proposed wall signage was requested. Public Works commented on dedicated right-of-way on West Markham Street to the back of the existing sidewalk prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. The Landscape comment was to remind the applicant of the requirements and to encourage the maintenance of existing materials. The applicant was informed responses were to be received by September 25, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission. I. ANALYSIS: A revised site plan was submitted in response to comments from the Subdivision Committee meeting on September 18, 2019. Alternative locations for the monument signs are proposed in the event the applicant cannot work out an agreement with the utilities to locate the signs in within the easements. The proposed monument signs do not comply with the Chenal/Financial Center Design Overlay. The maximum height of signs is 8 feet and the maximum area is 100 square feet. The proposed larger sign exceeds both the hei ght and square footage maximums and the smaller sign exceeds the maximum height. Under the existing PCD, a monument sign with a height of 8 feet and 100 square feet was approved for the frontage along Chenal Parkway. A pylon sign was approved fronting on West Markham Street with a maximum height of 36 feet and area of 160 square feet. The combined square footage of the proposed signs is less than what is currently allowed, being 200 square feet for the two monument signs proposed under this request and 260 square feet under the provisions of the current PCD. The height of the smaller sign complies with the Chenal/Financial Center Design Overlay. The larger sign, although not in compliance with the design overlay, nonetheless has a proposed height of 20 feet, significantly less than the 36-foot height presently approved on the property. The request for additional right-of-way dedication has been added to the site plan. This change precipitates a variance to the landscape buffer along West Markham Street, as a portion of the buffer would be less than nine feet in width. Several additional existing specific site and operational conditions are also proposed to remain with the revised PCD. They are as follows: a. No body shop shall be constructed as a part of this development. b. No vehicles will be parked off-site. c. No on-street unloading of vehicles being delivered to the property. d. No flashing lights, search lights or carnival-type promotions. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-5803-C 7 e. Test drive routes are to be defined and not allowed through the Timber Ridge neighborhood. f. All site lighting is to be directional and controlled to light only the site . Staff is supportive of the re-use of the property for an automobile dealership and the proposed site modifications. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the PCD subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 10, 2019) The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present.

A variance to allow advanced grading of the site with the improvements of Lot B1 -A. 2. A variance to allow parked vehicles to back into a service easement. 3. A variance to create a lot without access to a public street . 4. A variance to allow for an alternative internal pedestrian circulation network. October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6019-F 2 BACKGROUND: This tract is a portion of an area rezoned from R -2, Single-family and C-2, Shopping Center to O-2, Office and Institutional in 1995. Later in the year, the Planning Commission reviewed a zoning site plan review for the development of a 19-acre tract containing two, 2-story office buildings of 75,000 square feet each and parking for 601 vehicles. The first phase of this development was constructed, being the GMAC office building to t he south of the subject property. A request was made in 2000 to rezone a larger area including this site from O-2, Office and Institutional, R-2, Single-family and PCD to POD was approved in 2000. Most of the property was zoned O-2, Office and Institutional, a small portion zoned R-2, Single-family and the remainder zoned PCD. This action was to allow additional office development in two phases. The initial phase consisted of a building of 73,500 square feet with 402 associated parking spaces. The second phase would be an office building and 783 parking spaces. This development was not constructed. In 2006, the POD was revoked and a revised preliminary plat approved creating four lots from what had been identified as “Tract B” in previously approved plans. Tract A contained the GMAC office building. The zoning for Tract B reverted to O-2, Office and Institutional and a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance was approved to allow a lot without a public street frontage. Following later in 2006, a PCD was approved for the construction of a branch bank on Lot B-1A and a restaurant on Lot B-1B. The bank building was proposed to be no more than 4,500 square feet with 29 parking spaces. The restaurant was proposed with a building footprint of up to 5,800 square feet and 157 parking spaces. This development was also not constructed. The most recent zoning request for this property was in 2009. This proposal was to rezone from PCD and O-2, Office and Institutional to allow the construction of two restaurant buildings and a two-story office building. The restaurants were planned for Lot B-1A and B-1B. The building proposed for Lot B -1A was to be 3,825 square feet with a drive-through and 47 spaces. The building proposed for Lot B-1B did not have a drive-through, an area of 6,300 square feet, and 83 parking spaces. The office building was listed at 29,000 square feet and was to be sited on Lot B-3 with 99 parking spaces. As with the previous proposals, this development was not constructed. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST/APPLICANT’S STATEMENT: The applicant proposes to revise the PCD to allow all the uses in C-3, General Commercial and O-3, General Office districts. A drive-through would be provided on Lot B-1A. Hours of operation are intended to be da ily from 7am to 9pm. The October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6019-F 3 on-site drives would be shared-access. All grading and street improvements would be completed with the planned improvements for Lot B-1A. Lastly, lighting would be low-level and directed toward the interior of the site. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is undeveloped and well-covered with trees. South of the property is an office building accessed by LaGrande Drive, which runs to the west of the subject property. Across Saint Vincent Way is the Promenade at Chenal lifestyle c enter with retail, restaurant, and entertainment uses. To the east, across Chenal Parkway are office and commercial uses. Located west of the site across LaGrande Drive are the CHI St. Vincent West Pavilions-Chenal housing medical clinic and office uses. C.

Planning Division: Plan shows Mixed Office Commercial (MOC) for this property. This category provides for a mixture of office and commercial uses to occur. Acceptable uses are office or mixed office and commercial. A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is mixed office and commercial. The applicant has applied for a rezoning from PCD (Planned Commercial Development District) and O-2 (Office and Institutional District) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development District) to allow for the future development of office, co mmercial and restaurant uses. The request is within the Chenal/Financial Center Design Overlay District. Master Street Plan: To the east of the property is Chenal Parkway and it is shown as a Principal Arterial. To the north is St. Vincent Way and it is shown as a Collector. To the west is La Grande Drive and it is shown as Local Streets on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on Chenal Parkway since it is a Principal Arterial. The primary function of a Collector Road is to provide a connection from Local Streets to Arterials. The primary function of Local Streets is to provide access to adjacent properties. Local Streets that are abutted by non-residential zoning/use or more intensive zoning than duplexes are considered as “Commercial Streets”. A Collector design standard is used for Commercial Streets. These streets may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site. Bicycle Plan: There is a Class I Bike Path is shown along Chenal Parkway. A Bike Path is to be a paved path physically separate for the use of bicycles. Additional right-of-way or an easement is recommended. Nine-foot paths are recommended to allow for pedestrian use as well (replacing the sidewalk). H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: September 18, 2019 The applicant was present. Staff presented the item to the committee. Planning comments included whether the C-3 and O-3 uses are proposed for the entire site or would differ by lot. Second, planning staff asked if Lot B -2 is included in the October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6019-F 9 request. Third, the applicant was asked to provide screening and proposed signage for the drive-through on Lot B1-A. Lastly, regarding signage staff inquired if an existing sign adjacent to Lot B1-B would remain or be removed and for any information on proposed wall signage. Public Works asked if an advanced site grading permit would be sought. Public Works also informed the applicant storm water detention would be required and that sidewalks are to be installed along both sides of service easements. Landscape com ments were generally noted. The applicant was informed responses were to be received by September 25, 2019. The committee forwarded the item to the full commission. I. ANALYSIS: This proposal is similar to the PCD approved in 2009. Notable modifications would include Lot B1-A increasing in area from 1.45 acres to 1.79 acres. The change is primarily due to including a drive aisle and row of parking previously shared between Lots B1-A and B-1B to now be entirely on Lot B-1A. The building planned for Lot B-1A has also increased in size from 3,825 square feet to 10,000 square feet and commercial uses are requested to be added to the previously approved restaurant with drive-through use. The area of Lot B-3 has been slightly reduced in size; however, the proposed 2-story office building of 29,600 square feet with 75 parking spaces is brought forward with this proposal. In response to the Subdivision Committee comments a revised site plan was prepared. The site plan clarified Lot B-2 is to be incorporated into the PCD and the proposed uses for the lot would be commercial, office, and restaurant uses. No building is shown on the site plan. Approval of a revised PCD or separate POD would be required prior to development of this parcel. The proposed uses for each lot were also added to each parcel. Specifically, the uses for Lot B-1A are requested to be restaurant and commercial. Proposed parking for the property includes 69 spaces on Lot B -1A, 63 spaces on Lot B-1B, and 99 spaces on Lot B-3. The proposed uses for Lot B-1A include commercial and restaurant. If the building were entirely commercial in use, 33 parking spaces are required. A restaurant use requires 1 parking space per 100 square feet of gross floor area. If there building were entirely restaurant uses, 100 parking spaces would be required. Lot B-1B is proposed for restaurant use as well. 69 parking spaces are planned, exceeding the 63 spaces required spaces per the zoning ordinance based on the size of the building. Office use is shown October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-6019-F 10 for Lot B-3. A 29,600 square foot office building would require 74 parking spaces, thus there is a surplus of 25 parking spaces proposed on this lot. The parking indicated on the site plan should be sufficient to serve the proposed development and uses. All signage will comply with the Chenal/Financial Center Design Overlay. Monument signs are proposed for Lots B-1A and B-1B adjacent to Chenal Parkway. These signs would be no more than 8 feet in height and 100 square feet in area. A smaller monument sign is proposed for Lot B-3 with a height of 6 feet and area of 48 square feet. Screening will be provided for the drive-through on Lot B1-A. A directional island has been added to the site plan for the driveway connection to Chenal Parkway to prevent wrong-way traffic. As an alternative to providing sidewalks on both sides of the service easements, the applicant is proposing to construct sidewalks on each lot to provide ADA access to the sidewalks located in the adjacent rights -of-way. Internal cross connecting sidewalks will be constructed to allow patrons to walk to adjacent sites without having to walk in and along the internal drives or behind parked vehicles. These are not shown on the site plan, but will be constructed at the time bu ilding permits are issued to connect the lots within this development, between adjacent developments, and to the public rights-of-way. As noted previously, Lot B-3 does not have access to a public right-of-way. Access to the parcel would be via an access and utility easement to the north. This easement also connects directly to LaGrande Drive and to other access and utility easements affording access to Chenal Parkway and Saint Vincent Parkway. Staff is supportive of the overall site design and use concept. Addressing the specific variance requests, staff supports allowing the advanced grading of the entire site with the issuance of a grading permit for Lot B-1A, the variance to allow parked vehicles to back into the service easement on Lot B-1A due to the interrupted traffic pattern proposed for the site, the variance to the subdivision ordinance to create a lot without access to a public street (Lot B-3), and for the variance to construct sidewalks as proposed to as an alternative to providing sidewalks on both sides of the service easements.

It runs the entire length of the slab and is roughly 8-inches in height and 6-inches in depth. Wheel stops are also shown on the revised plan. In response to the Landscaping comments, the applicant is requesting a variance to the Presidential Park Overlay requirement and would propose the landscape strip along 6th Street be moved into the property due to conflicts with utilities and a planned sidewalk. Another variance is requested from the Presidential Park October 10, 2019 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 9 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-9150-B 7 Overlay regarding street trees. The required species, Shademaster honey locust or Shumard Oak, would conflict with overhead power lines making the installation of these large species due to Entergy maintenance requirements. The applicant proposes to install evergreen ornamentals instead. An additional landscape area was added to the revised plan at the northeast corner of the parking lot. This modification also removed a parking space, as requested by Public Works. Although the Presidential Park Overlay does not allow parking along 6 th Street, the re-use of this property as parking is rational and supported by staff. It will contribute to the mixed-use development to the north and will also provide a better pedestrian connection across 6th Street. It appears all technical issues have been addressed. J.
